12. I've been there....

13. Sounds like home. Out back the evergreens hang almost straight down with the weight

of snow and out front the deciduous trees have a couple inches of snow on every twig. No wind and looks like fairyland. Absolutely beautiful!

My son went to Brazil and got badly burned yesterday...even with #70 sunscreen and a hat. The temperature in Rio is 99 degrees. Record breaking heat wave! Thank you...but I'll take the SNOW! I have a feeling he'll be glad to get home and do some shoveling.
